Drainage money comes through for Bayou Din area

Most of the money to pay for construction of a detention basin along Jefferson County’s Bayou Din has been allocated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, according to a Wednesday press release.
More than 40 homes downstream should see an improvement in existing flooding patterns as a result of the project when complete.
The agency is funneling $1,284,570 through the state, which is 75 percent of the cost of the $1,712,760 project.
